Is My 5070 Ti Safe After Using It With a Slightly Loose Power Cable?

Asked By SunnySide42 On

I recently discovered that my 5070 Ti had a slight gap in the power cable connection for about a week while I was gaming. After I noticed a white light on my motherboard and restarted my computer, I gently pushed the cable in all the way. I'm worried about whether I may have damaged the connector or the card itself, especially after hearing stories about burning connectors on the 4090. Should I consider exchanging it for a new one, or is it fine to keep using it since it's working without issues?

If you don't see any visible burning or damage on the connector, you're probably in the clear. The 5070 Ti isn't as power-hungry as the 4090 or 5090, so it's likely that a little gap won't cause any problems.

No signs of damage on the connector at all. So do you think I can just keep using it? It was only like that for about 6-7 days before I fixed it.
